Junior Golf

Junior golf at the Ashburton Golf Club consists of 3 different classes that have been structured to fit the skill level for each junior.

Bronze LevelThis level is suited for the very young golfers aged 5yrs to 7yrs. I begin using my SNAG Golf Kit which is a modified golf clubs (Plastic) using Velcro targets and tennis balls. Begins at 10:00am to 11:00am on Sundays throughout term 1, 2, and 4.

Silver LevelThis level is suited for juniors of all ages who have developed the skills necessary from SNAG Golf to using the real junior golf clubs. This programme is called Getting Started at Golf were juniors will begin to learn the basic techniques of golf swing and other area’s involved in the game of golf. Begins at 10:00am to 11:00am on Sundays throughout term 1, 2, and 4.

Gold LevelThis level is suited for any junior of all ages who has a current golf handicap for either the junior golf course or the ladies/men’s golf course. (I will allow non handicapped juniors to attend Tuesdays if Sunday does not suit them).Begins at 4:00pm to 5:30pm on Tuesdays throughout the daylight saving hours and only to 5:00pm throughout the winter months.

Costs

All junior levels are $60.00 per junior per term.
